Although I tend to use Gramps for storing my genealogy information I do have Roots Magic 7 and the Complete Genealogy Builder running in Linux. I gave up on most other software as it's tedious to get it working. The software I have was installed using Play on Linux which is a front-end for Wine and seems to make it quite easy to install (when the software works). I mostly use Roots Magic as it gives a (rather too long) list of the errors in my research. If you have old disks for Microsoft Office Play on Linux makes installing that fairly easy as well.
If you have a Windows programme that you really like then check winehq.org to see if other people have had success installing it using wine.
I'm using 64 bit Ubuntu 16.10 and most of my research is done using a webtrees based website online.
